OK I should have posted this back in April (not June)!
The peacocks must migrate for winter and sometime in April they decide to return from wherever they've been - I'd love to know where they hide out!
So the first early morning we're woken with the familiar call of a peacock is much cause for delight! We never get sick of watching these majestic birds meander around the property.
And then every morning like clockwork by 6:30am, for whatever reason they are always on our roof!
Late in April, this spectacular peacock and his harem of 6 hens were wandering round our garden. We've since named him Michael Jackson, cause he makes this WHOOO call.
Michael and his gals live next door, in the empty block and come visiting often. I love wandering around Vegeland and then hearing the now familiar flap-flap-whoosh as he flies over my head and back onto our roof!
I don't have that many pics of MJ, they're incredibly hard to photograph ... despite his massive tail he's as fast as a roadrunner!
MJ loves hanging out by the chicken coop around dusk, coincidentally after the chickens have been locked in for the night! So he and the cute lil chipmunks (that I've never been able to photograph) can feast on the organic chicken food left on the lawn!
3 years we've been here and they've not left one feather behind!
No longer having peacocks roaming free in my garden will take a long time to get used to!
